Conducting cable HotSync operations
107
Performing a cable HotSync operation: Windows computers
The first time you synchronize your data, you need to enter user information on
Palm Desktop software. After you enter this information and synchronize with
your handheld, the HotSync Manager recognizes your handheld and doesn’t ask
for this information again.
If you are a system administrator preparing several handhelds for a group of users,
you may want to create a user profile. See
“Creating a user profile” later in this
chapter before performing the following steps.
IMPORTANT
You must perform your first HotSync operation with a local, direct
connection or with infrared communication, rather than with a network.
The following steps assume that you have already installed Palm Desktop
software. If you have not installed this software, see
“Step 3: Install software” in
Chapter 1 for instructions.
To perform a local HotSync operation on a Windows computer:
1.
Connect your handheld to the cable.
2.
If the HotSync Manager is not running, start it: On the Windows desktop, click
Start, and then select Programs. Navigate to the Palm Desktop software
program group, and select HotSync Manager. Alternatively, you can start the
Palm Desktop software, which automatically opens the HotSync Manager.
